AG Museum nq:(.00ds volunteer
assistance witl 1 1997 exhibits
Textiles are perhaps some of the
hardest articles to keep through
time, whether in a home or in a
museum. So many things affect
their health. Because of this, a
good variety of the types and
styles of woven textiles through
the ages are often one of the least
seen examples of artifacts on dis-
play at museums. A wide variety
of textiles were made by skilled
weavers on looms in the late
1700s to mid 1800s. There was al-
so a revival of weaving in the
1930s.
While the Delaware Agricultur-
al Museum and Village has sever-
al wonderful examples of textiles
woven through the centuries, they
are limited. For this reason, the
museum's curator is looking for
assistance with a new exhibit. The
museum is planning an exhibit of
woven textiles (coverlets or coun-
terpanes) for early in 1998. The
museum staff is interested in see-
ing any textiles, especially those
that have a Delaware or Delmarva
history and/or are connected to a
rural family from the area. Objects
relating to weaving and looms are
also of interest. Anyone having a
textile to share with the communi-
ty is encouraged to call Jenifer
Dolde at 302-734-1618.
The Delaware Agricultural Mu-
seum and Village is located in
Dover on North DuPont Highway.
Admission to the museum is $3
for adults, $2 for seniors 60+ and
children aged 6-17. Children un-
der six and members are free. For
information on the 1998 schedule
of exhibits and events, call the
museum at 302-734-1618.
Rer oboth Art League to host showing
of f lm on artist Jack Lewis on Aug. 8
"If You Lived Here You Would
Be Home Now," the film docu-
mentary about the life and work of
internationally known Delaware
artist Jack Lewis, will be shown at
the Rehoboth Art League on Fri-
day, Aug. 8 at 7 p.m. in the Cham-
bers Studio.
The film, which was funded by
the Delaware Humanities Forum,
depicts the relationship that Lewis
has developed with southern
Delaware and especially the town
of Bridgeville over the last 50
years.
'Turtle Race' to benefit
Maryland fire department
The 19th Annual Great North

"If You Lived Here..." had its
Delaware premier in Bridgeville
in October of 1996. The Delaware
Humanities Forum grant for the
film was the largest in that organi-
zation's history.
"I am very pleased to screen the
film at the Rehoboth Art League
because Jack has meant so much
to the development of the
League," said Nancy O'Brien, the
league's executive director.
"Jack's style of making art acces-
sible to people from all walks of
life is what the league is all about,
and that's due in large part to Jack
Lewis's influence."
The film is free and open to the
public. For more information call
227-8408.
